About the Item

Title: Cubist French Village Landscape With Horses Church Trees And Hills Gouache Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.5 x 25.5 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good; light age toning and handling consistent with period Description: This bold and highly structured gouache painting by French modernist artist Guy Nicod presents a vibrant cubist interpretation of a rural village scene. At the centre stands a tall church tower, flanked by angular rooftops in shades of red, ochre, and turquoise. Rolling hills stretch across the background, their earthy browns and greens fractured into geometric planes. In the foreground, a pair of stylised horses graze in a pasture, their golden coats highlighted against sharp patches of emerald and aquamarine. A bare tree rises dramatically on the left, its dark angular branches echoing the strong diagonals that define the composition. Nicod’s mastery of cubist principles is evident in the faceted arrangement of form and colour, breaking the landscape into rhythmic patterns while retaining a sense of narrative and place. The work reflects influences from early 20th-century modernism, particularly the School of Paris, yet carries a distinctly lyrical quality rooted in the French countryside. The horses add both dynamism and symbolism, long associated with vitality, freedom, and rural tradition in European art. For collectors, this piece offers a striking combination of subject matter — horses, church, trees, village, and hills — with the decorative appeal of bold cubist design. It is a quintessential example of Nicod’s ability to merge abstraction with storytelling, making it attractive both to connoisseurs of mid century French painting and to interior designers seeking impactful statement art. Presented unframed, the gouache is ready for a custom mount and frame that will highlight its strong lines and vibrant colour contrasts.
